General Statement of the Board's Activities· Pursuant to Section (a):

Purpose

One of the basic functions of state government is to regulate the practices of various professions. Underlying this responsibility is the belief that regulation improves the level of service to communities, and protects the health and welfare of citizens.

Created by legislation in 1977, the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) began licensing peace officers in 1978 ... the first state in the nation to do so.

Some may argue the creation of POST in Minnesota was part of a natural evolution of policing from a technically oriented, skills-based occupation of law enforcement to a more education-based profession of public service. Others may argue that POST was the result of public pressure in response to a number of controversial police actions on the national scene in the early 1970s; actions that questioned law enforcement's ability to perform effectively and its accountability in contemporary society. Regardless of the rationale, POST was created to enhance the law enforcement profession in Minnesota and to protect the citizens through the policies and practices of a state-regulated law enforcement community.

POST Board and staff members recognize they serve two distinct roles, those of regulator and resource. It is POST's intention to have those roles serve in concert rather than conflict. While the regulatory component is a straightforward responsibility based on statute and rule, the resource role requires more creative thinking as POST strives to partner with law enforcement agencies for mutual benefit. The agency's unofficial motto, "POST is your Friend" is beginning to ring true for a once skeptical law enforcement community.

POST is not a stagnant organization, but rather an evolving entity intent on continuously searching for new and innovative methods to improve law enforcement in Minnesota. Through legislation, administrative rule, policy, education and training, the POST Board strives to assist Minnesota's law enforcement community to "serve and protect" people who live in, work in, or merely visit our great state.

3

POST Board Vision and Mission

• The vision of the POST Board is to enhance the profession of law enforcement through the selection, education and licensing of peace officers and part-time peace officers.

• The mission of the POST Board is to develop, maintain and regulate peace officer selection, education and licensing standards.

Like other state regulatory agencies, the POST Board implements policies and procedures enacted by the legislature. The Board and committee meetings are often focused on finding ways to make those mandates meaningful and palatable to the agencies, officers, schools, and students impacted by the laws.

POST has, and will continue to, emphasize its role as a resource to its stakeholders while simultaneously fulfilling its responsibility as a regulator. The philosophy of the Board is to partner with stakeholders to ensure all agencies and all officers are in compliance with state policy and training mandates. In that way, everyone benefits ... including the citizens who rely on Minnesota's law enforcement community for service and protection.

To implement POST's vision and mission, the Board and its staff perform the following:

Key Service Components

• Administer a professional licensing program that includes examination development and administration, licensure and re-licensure

• Develop the professional peace officer education learning objectives for colleges and universities

• Develop, coordinate and approve continuing education programs for peace officers and part-time peace officers

• Help local governments defray the training costs for their officers through the training reimbursement program

• Establish and enforce minimum standards of conduct for the practice of law enforcement

• Provide technical assistance to colleges, universities, law enforcement agencies and other groups concerned with the practice of law enforcement and law enforcement education

• Conduct research and applied studies on projects that relate to peace officer education and contemporary police practices and methodologies

• Implement professional policy standards for law enforcement agencies and officers • Participate in meetings, conferences, task forces, legislative hearings, etc.

representing POST's interest in law enforcement and public safety issues • Respond to requests for information and interviews by television, radio, and print

media, as well as web-site inquiries.

POST Board Examinations Pursuant to Sections {i), {j) and (k):

The POST Board administers the following three examinations:

1) Peace Officer Licensing Examination :

This exam is intended for candidates who have earned a minimum of a two-year college degree and have completed a professional peace officer education course. Candidates who have completed this education and who pass the Peace Officer Licensing Examination are eligible to be licensed for a period of three years. Individuals who become eligible to be licensed as Minnesota peace officers do not receive their license until they have been hired by a law enforcement agency.

Individuals whose eligibility for licensure has .expired are required to pass the current peace officer licensing examination to reinstate their eligibility. If successful they are eligible to be licensed for an additional three-year period.

2) Reciprocity Examination:

This exam is intended for individuals who are certified peace officers in another state or a federal jurisdiction; or who have served in the military as military police officers for a period of five or more years of active duty and have received an honorable discharge. Eligibility to take this exam is based on a combination of basic training and experience. Upon passing this exam, an individual becomes eligible to be licensed in Minnesota for a period of three years. Eligibility can be re-established after three years by passing the reciprocity exam again.

3) Part-time Peace Officer Examination:

This exam is intended for individuals who have completed selection and training standards for part-time peace officers. These individuals must be under the sponsorship of a law enforcement agency that intends to hire the candidate when he or she has passed the part-time licensing exam. This exam is increasingly being administered to individuals who are eligible to take the Peace Officer Licensing Examination, but must wait for the next available exam date. These individuals can then be hired as a part-time peace officer by the sponsoring agency.

The Peace Officer Licensing Examination is given a minimum of six times per year.

The Reciprocity and Part-time Peace Officer Exam are scheduled by appointment and administered in the POST Board office.

Other POST Board Information Pursuant to Section (p):

Unlike other licensing boards, the POST Board does not issue licenses immediately to individuals who pass the Board's examinations. They are considered "eligible to be licensed" at that point. The license certificate is issued when a law enforcement agency notifies the Board that it has hired an individual who is eligible and that the individual has met all of the selection standards prescribed in POST Board's rules.

The following table illustrates the number of individuals licensed by gender and age as distinguished in the testing application data.

Miscellaneous Issues

Promulgation of administrative rules

The POST Board is authorized to promulgate administrative rules in matters falling under its legislative mandate.

Licensing of peace officers

The Board's rules require that applicants for peace officer licensing meet prescribed minimum educational, physical and psychological fitness standards. The rules also establish the general content of the post-secondary professional peace officer educational programs that prepare candidates for licensing.

All candidates must pass a licensing examination administered by the POST Board. There are two such exams, one for graduates of a Minnesota professional peace officer educational program and the other for experienced peace officers from other states who have completed basic training in law enforcement and had at least a year of experience in some other state or federal jurisdiction, or who have been a military police officer for five years of active duty.

Part-time peace officer licenses are issued to eligible candidates who complete statutory selection standards under the sponsorship of a law enforcement agency.

Continuing education and reimbursement

Every peace officer and part-time peace officer must complete at least forty-eight (48) hours of continuing education within the three-year licensing period. The courses must be approved either by the POST Board's staff or by accredited sponsors that have been authorized by POST to approve their own offerings.

The POST Board helps to subsidize continuing education by providing reimbursement to defray part of the costs of law enforcement agencies that provide training for their officers. Funds are provided from a surcharge on fines imposed by local courts. The per officer share varies from year to year depending on the number of officer positions submitted by agencies for reimbursement. This amount was $ 419.00 per peace officer and part-time peace officer in fiscal year 2001 and $ 424.00 per peace officer and part-time peace officer in fiscal year 2002.

Renewal of licenses

Approximately one third of all licenses are due for renewal on July 1 of each year. Licensees do not need to be currently employed in law enforcement in order to renew their license, and most inactive officers choose not to renew. There is a restoration process for those who fail to renew the license by the deadline or who later decide to return to law enforcement.

31

Revocation of licenses

Based on legislation passed in 1995, the license of a peace officer is automatically revoked if the peace officer is convicted of a felony. Convictions include a finding of guilt, whether or not the adjudication of guilt is stayed or executed, an admission of guilt, or a no contest plea. The POST Board has the authority to revoke a license. The board's complaint procedure provides due process for licensees.

The board has licensing jurisdiction when infractions lead to a criminal conviction. Licensing action can also be taken against a chief law enforcement officer when the chief law enforcement officer fails to implement a board mandated policy or follow a directive of the board.

Testing

Licensing exams are administered a minimum of six times annually. The exam is always offered in the metropolitan area, and elsewhere when a second site is justified by the demand. Reciprocity and part-time peace officer exams are scheduled by individual appointment and conducted in the Board's office.

Candidates may take a licensing exam more than once, but a remedial study program is required after a third failure.

Unauthorized practice of law enforcement

The board is empowered to take action against an unlicensed individual when that individual practices law enforcement. This provision will be prosecuted by the attorney general.

Publications

The board issues publications that are related to its mission. This includes The Learning Objectives for Professional Peace Officer Education that was revised in 1998 and is available on disk or as a paper document.

The Board revised the "Administrators Manual - a Guide to Law Enforcement Licensing and Hiring 11 in March of 1998. This manual was mailed to all law enforcement agencies in Minnesota.

Keeping POSTed, the POST Board's newsletter, is published monthly by office staff to provide the Minnesota law enforcement community with information on issues relating to peace officer licensing, education, research, reimbursements, disciplinary actions, staffing changes and other topics. The newsletter now appears on POST's website at www dps state mo us/newpost and is updated as needed.

The board also partners with the Office of Revisor & Statutes to prepare the Criminal Code and Selected Statutes for Peace Officers annually.

32

Legislative Mandates

All chief law enforcement officers must report to the board a data summary regarding investigation and disposition of cases involving alleged misconduct. The summary data must indicate the total number of investigations, the total number by each subject matter, the number dismissed as unfounded and the number dismissed on grounds the allegation was unsubstantiated.

Law enforcement agencies in Minnesota are mandated to report to the board any allegations of fifth degree assault, domestic abuse and related violations. The board mails forms to the agencies twice per year requesting this information. These forms were evaluated and a report was submitted to the Legislature in January 1999.

Model Policy

The board developed a model policy for "Impartial Policing." The model policy was the result of a coordinated effort between members of the law enforcement community and the POST Board, as well as recommendations from members of the communities of color.

The language of POST's Impartial Policing Model Policy reflects a more inclusive policy statement that goes beyond the limited focus of race included in the legislation. The POST Board believes it is necessary to be pro-active to ensure impartial/unbiased policing within our communities.

The model policy was mailed to all law enforcement agencies in Minnesota with instructions that agencies adopt a policy that may include more rigid language, but not less restrictive language. POST reviewed all agency policies and found them to be in compliance.

Employment opportunities

Individuals seeking employment in law enforcement can call the peace officer opportunity line (POOL) at 651-643-3075 or visit our website at www.dps.state.mn.us/newpost/. The recorded message and website are maintained by the Board and updated on a weekly basis.

Congratulations to the Winners of POST's 2001 Excellence in Training Awards

The POST Board has announced the winners of the 2001 Excellence in Training Awards. These awards are intended to recognize and commend those individuals and programs that provide innovative, high quality, and effective continuing education for peace officers. There are two categories of awards. The first category recognizes individual excellence in law enforcement training. The second category recognizes exceptional training programs.

Category 1: The award for individual excellence in law enforcement training goes to:

• Sgt. Ed Hendrickson of the Morrison County Sheriff's Office

Sgt. Hendrickson has worked for the Morrison County Sheriff's Office for over 27 years and has written and implemented training programs that have had a great impact on the deputies of the county as well as the officers in the surrounding police departments of Pierz, Randall, Royalton, and Motley. Sgt. Hendrickson tries to keep his training as realistic as possible while emphasizing the importance of teamwork. Although Sgt. Hendrickson was scheduled to retire in July of 2001, the county has retained him on a part-time basis to work on special training related projects.

Morrison County Sheriff Paul Tschida states: "Sgt. Morrison has a remarkable ability to implement effective training. I have received comments from virtually all the deputies attending this type of realistic training" and that this training "has increased officer awareness of cover, response techniques, and the importance of teamwork".

*********************************************************************

Category 2: The award for exceptional continuing education program in law enforcement training goes to:

• The Wayzata Police Department Use of Force and Firearms Program Program Coordinators: Officer Philip Reiter, Officer Robert Vanderheiden, and Officer Deney Lee

These officers have developed a high quality and effective Use of Force and Firearms Program that puts into practice the department's commitment to officer safety. This in-house team of instructors has utilized innovative and effective techniques to customize training to suit the needs of the agency's nine officers. These techniques include role-play scenarios that are drawn from actual Wayzata police incidents, and the use of digital photography to project real images into the classroom and into student manuals.

Chief Kevin Kelleher is proud of these officers and of this training program. He states: The Wayzata Police Department's Use of Force and Firearms Program proves that even small agencies can deliver a quality program when you combine commitment with a little imagination."

REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE

February 2002

From the Executive Director of the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer

Standards and Training

Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training

1600 University Avenue, Suite 200 St. Paul, M.N 55104-3825 (651) 643-3060 •FAX (651) 643-3072 TDD (651) 297-2100

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, 626.8471, Section 12, Subdivision 1, the following is a report to the House and Senate committees with jurisdiction over criminal justice funding from the Executive Director of the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training(POST). Minnesota Statutes, 626.8471, Section 3, Subdivisions 3, 5, 6 and 7 directed the POST Board to develop a statewide antiracial profiling model policy; to prepare both pre- and in-service training learning objectives; and to prepare training materials specifically designed for chief law enforcement officers and other peace officers with supervisory authority. In addition, Minnesota Statutes, 626.8471, Section 11 directed the POST Board to facilitate regional training seminars to increase the awareness of racial profiling.

Included in the report are:

• Impartial Policing Model Policy • Pre-Licensing Learning Objective • In-Service Continuing Education Learning Objective • Content of the Training Materials for Chief Law Enforcement Officers and

Other Officers with Supervisory Authority • Content of the Regional Training Seminars • Attendance Figures for the Regional Training Seminars

The POST Board developed a model policy and learning objectives with input from representatives of law enforcement, higher education, communities of color and other interested stakeholders. To date, 99% of law enforcement agencies have adopted a version of the Impartial Policing Model Policy. The pre-service learning objectives have been distributed to the twenty colleges and universities that are providers of Professional Peace Officer Education programs and will be added to the courses by Fall of 2002 if not already. The in-service learning objectives are prepared and ready for distribution to providers upon request.

The POST Board partnered with the Upper Midwest Community Policing lnstitute(UMCPI), a respected provider of law enforcement training and education, to develop training materials for chief law enforcement officers and other peace officers with supervisory authority. In addition, the POST Board contracted with UMCPI to develop the content of the regional training seminars and provide the training at seminars throughout regions of the state. As of February 6, 2002, eight regional training seminars have been conducted. The attendance figures are enclosed.

Please direct any questions, comments or requests for additional reports to me at 651.643.3063 or at [email protected].

IMPARTIAL POLICING MODEL POLICY

Minnesota Statutes, Section 626.8471, Subdivision 3

PURPOSE: This policy is intended to reaffirm our department's commitment to impartial/unbiased policing and to reinforce procedures that serve to assure

POLICY:

the public that we are providing service and enforcing laws in a fair and equitable manner to all.

A) Policing Impartially

1) Investigative detentions, pedestrian and vehicle stops, arrests, searches and property seizures by officers will be based on a standard of reasonable suspicion or probable cause in accordance with the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Officers must be able to articulate specific facts, circumstances and conclusions that support reasonable suspicion or probable cause for investigative detentions, pedestrian and vehicle stops, arrests, nonconsensual searches and property seizures.

2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), officers shall not consider race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation and religion in establishing either reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

3) Officers may take into account the descriptors in paragraph (2) of a specific suspect(s) based on information that links specific, suspected, unlawful or suspicious activity to a particular individual or group of individuals. This information may be used in the same manner officers use specific information regarding age, height, weight, etc. about specific suspects.

B) Preventing Perceptions of Biased Policing - Procedural Guidelines

In an effort to prevent the perception of biased law enforcement, officers shall utilize the following guidelines:

• Be respectful and professional. • Introduce or identify yourself to the citizen and state the reason for the contact as

soon as practical, unless providing this information will compromise officer or public safety.

• Ensure that the detention is no longer than necessary to take appropriate action for the known or suspected offense.

• Attempt to answer any relevant questions the citizen may have regarding the citizen/officer contact, including relevant referrals to other agencies when appropriate.

• Provide your name and badge number when requested, preferably in writing or on a business card.

• Explain and/or apologize if you determine that the reasonable suspicion was unfounded (e.g. after an investigatory stop).

SUPERVISION AND ACCOUNTABILITY:

Supervisors shall ensure that all personnel in their command are familiar with the content of this policy and are operating in compliance with it.
